It allows the system to detect the presence of a cloud cover, and up to some extent, supplement the information of observing conditions when the clouds are absent. text/html 2008-09-06T20:54:51+02:00 http://rts2.org/wiki/tech:embedded_pcs?rev=1220727291&do=diff EmbeddedArm Feature 1/2 Watt in standby and 2 Watts running! of power, Linux inside, multiple serial ports, .. can you ask for more? I will most probably try to build RTS2 for it, but I do not expect any major problems. Costs ~ 200 $. text/html 2008-12-08T13:29:15+02:00 http://rts2.org/wiki/tech:plcs?rev=1228739355&do=diff Modular, cheap (~ 220 EUR basic modul + TCP/IP modbus), well distributed on various markets. It can operate either in PLC mode, using programme, or as relay switcher, with outputs fully controlled by TCP/IP modbus. TCP/IP modbus is supported by RTS2 on connection level.
